Behind the well-known U.S. security organizationsa the FBI and CIA among themalies a heavily guarded, anonymous government agency dedicated to intelligence surveillance and to a highly specialized brand of citizen protection. Shock waves of alarm ripple through the clandestine agency when Washington, D.C., police detective Ryan Kessler inexplicably becomes the target of Henry Loving, a seasoned, ruthless aliftera hired to obtain information using whatever means necessary. While Loving is deft at torture, his expertise lies in getting an aedgea on his victimaleverageausually by kidnapping or threatening family until the aprimarya caves under pressure. The job of keeping the Kessler family alive falls to a man named Corte, a senior federal protection officer known as a ashepherd.a Uncompromising, relentlessly devoted to protecting those in his care and a passionate board game aficionado, he applies brilliant gaming strategy to his work. For Corte, the reappearance of Lovingathe man who, six years earlier, had tortured and killed someone close to himais also an opportunity to avenge his friendas death. The assignment soon escalates into a fast-paced duel between Corte and Loving, a dangerous volley of wits and calculated risks. As he shepherds the Kesslers to a concealed safe house, Corte must anticipate Lovingas every step as the lifter moves in on his prey, and with the help of razor-sharp investigator Claire DuBois and his longtime ally, FBI agent Paul Fredericks, pinpoint which of Kessleras seemingly insignificant cases has triggered Lovingas return. As the team digs deeper, each of the Kesslers comes under close scrutiny, and in captivity their family bonds are stretched to the breaking pointaas the lifter draws near, Corte must ultimately choose between protecting his charges and exposing them to a killer in the name of long-awaited revenge.Freddy, you and Garcia stay in the house and cover the side yard, the one with
